I might be amongst the few who uses or would like to use this ide feature. Are there plans to improve on this?
These are only a couple of bugs I contributed to ever since its introduction a year ago showing problems especially related to tool window focusing (where the terminal holds fiercely onto its focus and sometimes stealing it): for instance right now in latest EAP build ALT+1 is able to hide the project window if already opened (manually), otherwise, as long as the terminal window is opened, ALT+1 would just input ones in its console:

In time I developed a few workarounds to these bugs, mostly involving closing all terminal windows and starting afresh ..:), but would like to see this one implemented properly. I am confident intellij developers can solve most of these issues.
To other Idea users: please voice your concerns/vote on these issues if you find them important enough.
